Five and Dive, Episode 486: A Podcast that Should Have Had a Meeting

In Episode 486, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about our new show theme, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 1. Better Luck Tomorrow: We take a survey of some teams that weren't THAT bad this year, and try to figure out if they might be good next year. 2. Ooh baby, baby, it's a wild card: The Mets and the Reds are the last playoff race standing, and how much does the Yankees/Red Sox series matter for the postseason? 3. Play it again, Sam: Samuel Basallo will be in Baltimore for a while. 4. Around the Horn: Injuries, returns from injuries, and a new award. 5. Real names, not nicknames, in a game.
